My Princess

My Princess
Princess of heaven, mermaid of blue seas.Forgive my errant muse if decent to be I cease.Heaven pity me, head over knee like a slave .Deserted by sleep waiting on luck me to save.Call me a slave! Never, never everOnly yours Cody willingly and forever.Should I lament, should I celebrate?How can a blind like me differentiate?Ask me why do not, read Qays, prince of Arabia.Insane yet a saint, a brave knight yet a slaveRiding dark treacherous seas was my dream .Night upon night all around not even a beam My stars forsaken me, I was left all aloneLooking for a home. I roamed away from home all over the world, what''s left to be known?Til one morning I opened my eyes to a golden light .I''ve never seen such in my life, sweet, soft and bright.Golden haired my love faced, Goddess of your race.A shining star over the lone star glowing with grace.
